Kenosha Sister Cities has embarked on an exciting new collaboration. We are working with Professor Carey Waters and her students at UW-Parkside to create a mural celebrating our relationship with our Sister City in Cosenza, Italy. Her class will be working with an Italian Mural artist named Carlo Giardina to create two designs, one to be placed in Kenosha and one to be placed in Cosenza. The two designs will be connected and reflect the relationship between Cosenza and Kenosha. Besides working with students at UW-Parkside, it is our intent to engage younger students from both communities in community-based learning projects to learn more about the cities and the history of our connections.
We need your help to provide the funding to bring the mural artist here to work with the class and to help pay for the installation of the mural by a professional, insured painter to make sure the mural can be enjoyed by our community for years to come. After completing this project, it is our long-term goal to create other murals in our community to represent our other sister-city relationships.

Mural will be installed on the north end of the west wall of the Italian-American Club over looking the bocce ball court, and will incorporate the staircase and door into the design.
